Not Predefined Macro
The Not Predefined Macro allows you to create a dropdown, where you can select a single or multiple options from a not predefined set (as the name suggests). You can create your option set directly in the macro dialog yourself. This is the main difference to the other macros. The set you define is only available for the macro in which you define it.
It is also possible to filter in a page property report macro for these not predefined macros. See Filtering with the Page Property Report Macro for further information.
Macro Parameters
These Parameters can be set differently for each Not Predefined Macro. You can’t preselect a dropdown value in the macro dialog for this macro.
